Nigeria manager Eric Chelle has revealed that he dreams of guiding the Super Eagles to glory at both the Africa Cup of Nations and the Fifa World Cup.

The Super Eagles, who finished as the highest-scoring side at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, saw their impressive campaign end in heartbreaking fashion, losing on penalties to hosts Morocco in the semifinals.

The defeat denied Nigeria a place in the final despite a tournament run that had showcased their attacking strength and resilience.

Just two months before that semifinal clash, Nigeria's hopes of returning to the World Cup had also suffered a setback.

The Super Eagles fell to another penalty shootout defeat, this time against the Democratic Republic of Congo, in a match similarly staged in Rabat.

Since the conclusion of the Africa Cup of Nations, Chelle’s future has been the subject of intense speculation both at home and abroad, but that Malian has insisted that he's committed to the Super Eagles for now.
